Tiyani wa ka Mabasa picks key players to watch in SA's do-or-die encounter against Senegal tonight

South Africa

Percy Tau:

He was brilliant in the 3-1 win against Burkina Faso last month, with a goal and an assist on the day. South Africans will be looking to him to shine again.

Kamohelo Mokotjo:

His passing game is world class, as has been evident in the statistics over the years. Mokotjo will have to be in total control of the midfield to unsettle the Senegalese.

Senegal

Keita Balde

The Monaco forward has had a blistering start to the season, with three goals and two assists for the French Ligue 1 outfit in 10 matches.

Sadio Mane

The Liverpool talisman has just recovered from a hamstring injury and that could possibly affect his game, since he's just returned to training, but he's certainly a threat.
